Background: The pathogenesis of female pelvic floor polypropylene mesh complications is unclear as trials evaluating explanted mesh have not included asymptomatic controls.
Objectives: To compare explanted polypropylene mesh from those with and without mesh complications to determine the pathogenesis of the complications.
Methods: Between August 2019 and July 2020 66 participants attending Wesley and Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital Urogynecology department with mesh complications and 15 undergoing repeat prolapse and/or continence surgery after prior polypropylene mesh implantation were included.

The reactions of ionic silver (Ag) with arginine vasopressin (AVP), a nonapeptide hormone cyclized by two cysteine residues, and its diselenium analogue was explored by an integrated LC-MS, UV-vis, and DFT approach. The replacement of Cys by SeCys in AVP increased the reactivity of the peptide toward Ag ions under mildly reducing conditions, with the formation of a SeAg cluster provided by Ag(I)-mediated dimerization of diselenide AVP. Specific electronic absorption bands confirmed the formation of the Agpeptide complex, supported by DFT calculations.

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT), or specific immunotherapy (SIT), is an effective treatment for inducing immune tolerance to specific allergens. It is widely used for allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma, and Hymenoptera venom allergies, with recent applications to food allergies and atopic dermatitis. Despite its benefits, the use of SIT in patients with autoimmune diseases is controversial due to concerns about its potential to induce or exacerbate autoimmune conditions.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between endometrial thickness and lesions in asymptomatic postmenopausal women and identify diagnostic thresholds for lesions.
Methods: A total of 279 postmenopausal asymptomatic women aged 40 years or older with endometrial thickness ≥ 4 mm were retrospectively selected in our hospital, from January 2018 to June 2023, there were 33 cases's operations which were failed due to the cervical stenosis, 8cases who used hormone replacement therapy within the past year, 7 cases with hysteromyoma that affect the shape of the uterine cavity line, and 5cases's hysteroscopic tissue acquisition were failed. Finally, A retrospective study was conducted on the endometrial thickness of 226 postmenopausal asymptomatic women measured by transvaginal ultrasound and those with thickening were subjected to hysteroscopy and pathological examination of endometrial biopsy tissues, and were divided into a normal group (80 cases), benign lesion group (143 cases), and malignant lesion group (3 cases) according to the pathology results.
